dB is short for Decibel, or one tenth of a bel. Bels and decibels are unlike any other measurement, because an addition of ten means double the loudness of the noise. For example: 60 decibels is the noise generated from a regular conversation, however, 70 decibels is double the noise; and 80 is double that.

When buying headphones, you have to go by the comfort factor, how much they will increase the volume, and if they are a danger.

Instead of someone telling you which ones to buy, get few ideas and then go see which ones you like the best!
